♪♪ >>> FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS,
WE'VE WATCHED AS ELLE FANNING HAS TRANSFORMED FROM CHILD

SPIELBERG. TO PLAYING PRINCESS AURORA, IN
"MALEFICENT," THAT BROUGHT IN $750 MILLION WORLDWIDE.
AND PROVING HER RANGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS, PLAYING IN THE CRIME
DRAMA "LIVE BY NIGHT." NOW, SHE JOINS US TO TALK ABOUT
HER ANIMATED FILM, LEAP, AS ELLE STARS AS THE ORPHAN NAMED
TO PARIS AND BECOMING A BALLERINA.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK. >> I'M FELICIE.
>> FELIFELICIE. >> NO.
I'M FRIENDLY. AND MY NAME IS CAMILLE.
>> OKAY. I'M NORA.
BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME NORA. THAT'S THE NAME THAT GOES WITH
MY FACE. YOU SHOULD WARM UP.
>> WARM UP? >> OH.
THAT'S SO CUTE. ELLE, GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THAT HAD TO BE A SATISFYING "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" PORTRAYAL.
>> RIGHT. >> "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" NOT
SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT AT 19 YEARS OLD.
WHAT A WIDE AND VARYING CAREER AT 19.
>> IT'S FUNNY HEARING YOUR VOICE COME OUT OF A LITTLE CHARACTER.
OH, THAT'S ME. >> WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU
FIRST HEARD YOUR VOICE COMING OUT OF THIS PARTICULAR
CHARACTER? >> GOSH, I WAS REALLY -- I
WORKED ON IT FOR QUITE A WHILE. YEARS IN THE PROCESS.
I WAS THERE FOR THE BEGINNING, BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN DRAWN OR
EXACTLY -- BEFORE HER OUTFITS. OR EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS GOING TO
LOOK LIKE. IT WAS REALLY NEAT TO GET TO BE
THERE AT THE START FROM THE BEGINNING, IN A WAY, ALL DO IT
TOGETHER AND CREATE THIS WORLD. >> DID YOU HAVE A SAY IN ALL
THAT AND WHO SHE BECAME? >> WHAT THEY WOULD DO -- THEY
WOULD SHOW ME THINGS. IT WOULD BE EXCITING EACH TIME I
WOULD GO TO THE STUDIO AND HAVE THE NEXT SESSION.
THEY WOULD HAVE NEW CLIPS TO SHOW ME OR A DRAWING.
THEY WOULD RECORD MY FACE WHILE I WAS DOING THE FACEOVER.
>> THAT'S SO WEIRD. >> THE MOTION CAPTURE.
>> IT WASN'T NECESSARILY LIKE MOTION CAPTURE.
BUT STILL, THEY WOULD USE THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND THE
THAT. >> YOU HAD PICTURE AND
VOICE-TO-PICTURE? OR WERE YOU DOING THE VOICES
FIRST AND THEY WERE PUTTING THE
PICTURE TOGETHER? >> I DID THE VOICE FIRST.
THEY CREATED AROUND THAT. SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE, THEY
CAME IN LATER. THEY WOULD DO IT TO THE PICTURE.
YEAH. IT'S GREAT THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU
HAVE FREEDOM TO -- YOU CAN GO AS SLOW OR AS FAST -- AS MUCH AS
YOU WANT. AND THEY ADAPTED TO MY VOICE,
WHICH WAS NICE. >> WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART ABOUT
DOING VOICEOVERS? I FEEL LIKE THE GRUNTS AND
THE -- TRYING TO DO ALL THAT STUFF.
>> THE GRUNTS. >> I THINK YOU HAVE TO NOT BE
SHY ABOUT IT. ALSO, YOU DO GET -- YOU CAN'T
HELP BUT GET A LITTLE SELF-CONSCIOUS.
YOU'RE IN THERE. AND YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, I HAVE TO
MAKE THIS CRAZY SOUND. AND YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FACE OR
YOUR EYES OR ANYTHING TO RELY ON.
IT ALL HAS TO BE THROUGH YOUR
VOICE. YOU JUST HAVE TO LET THE GUARD
DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND GO FOR IT AND BE WILD.
>> CAN YOU DO ONE FOR US? >> I'M LIKE, YEAH, WITH THIS
ONE, THERE WERE A LOT OF GRUNTS. SHE'S DANCING IN THE FILM A LOT.
SO, IT WAS -- OR DIZZINESS FROM TWIRLING.
YOU HAVE TO USE -- >> USE YOUR VOICE.
>> USE YOUR VOICE FOR THAT. >> THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST RODEO.
YOU RECORDED SOMETHING A LONG TIME AGO.
WE HAVE A LITTLE CLIP. >> YEAH.
>> WITH YOUR SISTER. >> I SAW HIM.
BETWEEN, YOU SAY I SAW HIM. >> OKAY.
>> SHE'S A LOT LIKE ME. >> OF COURSE, SHE WEARS HER HAIR
IN PIG TAILS AND SHE LOVES TO BE WITH ME.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I DO? WHEN YOU TELL ME TO STAY THERE,
I KEPT THERE LONG. >> OH, MY GOSH.
>> ARE YOU -- >> I'VE SEEN THAT CLIP BEFORE.
PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THAT. >> YEAH.
>> AND WE LOVE DOING THAT. THAT WAS WHEN WE HAD TO -- WE
DUBBED IT SO WE WERE WATCHING THE PICTURE, WHILE WE WERE DOING
IT. >> THAT WAS REALLY FUN.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>
